COURT AFFAIRS
An Interesting Will Case - A Child Seeking Interest in His Grandfather's Will.
COMMON PLEAS
Before Judge Force.
Charles F. Hayes, by his guardian, vs. Silas V. Hayes et al. - This is a case involving something of a romance in real life. The plaintiff is a little boy of four years, whose father did not succeed in pleasing the family in his choice of a wife. In consequence, as it is alleged, Enoch Hayes, the grandfather of the plaintiff, provided in his will that his property should be divided in fifths, one-fifth to each of his two daughters, and three-fifths to his two sons, Moses and Silas V. The position assumed by the plaintiff is that it was his intention to provide one-fifth to his son Charles, (father of the plaintiff,) but desired to give it in trust to Moses and Silas, rather than to let Charles' name appear in the will. The reason of desiring to keep Charles' name out of the will, was that they thought the difficulty with Charles' wife could be better settled if she was left to believe that her husband had nothing left him in the will.
Enoch Hayes, the testator, died in 1857, leaving five children, to whom (except Charles) he divided his property as already stated. Charles had married in 1853 - the marriage being not approved by the remainder of the family. He did not live with his wife, though it does not appear that any measures were taken for a divorce. In 1861 he entered the service, and in 1863 he was killed while acting as Major of the 5th Ohio Calvary. His son, the present plaintiff, was born a short time after he went into the army.
Timothy Guard, a son-in-law of Enoch Hayes, testified that he lived near Lawrenceburg, Indiana, near the residence of his father-in-law. He said that in July, 1854, the children of Enoch Hayes, except Charles, met at the old man's house, to consult on the matter of the will. The old man told them that he intended his boys should have the home farm, but he would will Charles' share to Moses and Van, and they were to transfer his share to him when he has settled the difficulty with his wife. He stated that Charles was to have a 40 rod strip off the east side of the bottom farm, running down to the river. The witness and Mrs. Hayes were present at this agreement.
Subsequently, when the boys talked of the matter, they were anxious to have Charles to arrange with his wife that the division of the property could be made at once.
The brothers Moses and Van frequently spoke to the witness on the subject, and always said they would carry out the arrangement, even after the death of the old gentleman. They always spoke of the east side as Charles' share. He spoke of it himself the same way, and the brothers spoke of having had the lines surveyed between them and between Moses and Charles.
After Charles' death there was a valuation of the lands of Charles, and it was divided into four equal sums. Notes were given by the surviving sons to the daughters. After taking out the claims against Charles, his share was valued at about $14,000. Deeds were made for the land. At the time of this settlement one of the sons remarked that it would be better to give the girls the money, and let the lands remain as they were willed, because if the deeds were made to the girls the whole thing would come out, and Josephine (Charles' wife) would claim her share. This matter of Charles' share being given to Moses and Van was kept a family secret, for fear Josephine would claim her husband's property.
Charles met his wife and child at witness' house. He never disowned the child.
The testimony of Mrs. Guard was similar to that of her husband.
The testimony of one on the tenants of Charles' portion of the farm was also heard.
The case is not yet concluded.

The Hayes Will Case-Continuation of the Testimony.
COMMON PLEAS
Before Judge Murdock.
Charles F. Hayes, by Guardian, vs. Silas V. Hayes et al. - We are obliged, out of regard for truth, to destroy that portion of the romance we attributed to this case, which consisted in putting the age of the plaintiff at four years. The mistake was not intentional, but occurred by a wrong figure, which put the child's birth in 1863 instead of 1853. He is, consequently, fourteen years of age.
John F. Cheek, Clerk of the Dearborn Circuit Court and uncle of the plaintiff, testified that he was present at the marriage of Charles S. Hayes and Josephine Lucas, the parents of the plaintiff. Charles had been paying his attentions to Josephine some time before that. The marriage was not compulsory, but that he said on the day of the marriage he had come to make arrangements for the marriage on the next Sunday. When Gen. Lucas said that he would prefer that the marriage had taken place before, Charles said he would have married sooner if his folks had not been so bitterly opposed to it. He was willing to do right, and if it could be arranged he was willing that the marriage should take place that night. At his suggestion the matter was arranged, and the marriage did take place. He remained with his wife that night, but never lived with her afterward. This was in April, 1853.
There were no threats or coercion whatever used to compel him to enter into the marriage. He was not only willing but anxious to get married. The plaintiff was born in July after the marriage. On the evening before the marriage he admitted that he had been engaged for some time.
Gen. Lucas testified to substantially the same facts.
Further testimony concerning the marriage of the father and mother of the plaintiff was given by Mrs. Lucas, the mother of Mrs. Hayes. John Moore and Daniel Guard were also examined.
The defense read the deposition of Judge Wm. Jessup who drew the will. He said he heard nothing of the family secret of Charles' portion having been given to the other boys. He asked Mr. Hayes what he was going to do for Charles, but he made no reply. David Guard and Abiah Hayes, witnesses to the will, testified that they heard nothing said of any trust in the will. Mrs. Sarah Hayes, the widow of the testator, said she took under the law in order to do something for Charles.
George W. Haire, a surveyor, testified that he surveyed the farm, but understood it was for purposes of cultivation. He heard nothing said about a part of it belonging to Charles.
William Gibson and Ezra Guard had rented the land. They did not know Charles as the owner or claimant of any portion of it.
Silan V. Hayes testified concerning the division of the property, and denied that anything was said about dividing Charles' share. He said he and his brothers joined in the deeds to the sisters, and had the impression it was not necessary for their husbands to join in the deeds.
The Court adjourned before the close of Mr. Hayes' testimony.

COURT REPORTS
HAMILTON COUNTY DISTRICT COURT.
Amending Pleadings on Appeal.
Josephine Hayes vs Silas V. Hayes et. al. - This case coming before the Court on appeal, an application was made by the plaintiff for leave to amend the pleadings so as to include a claim for rents from the land since the death of Charles Hayes, the testator. The defendants resisted this on the ground that if it was such a separate action against third persons as would not allow it to be joined in the Court below, it could not be added on appeal.
The Court allowed the amendment to be made provided the persons against whom this charge is made, be specifically named.
